I had never driven China before I started practicing for this race, and I have to say it's not a very fun track to drive.
Doesn't seem to have a good flow to it, the tyres burn even faster than Sepang and there's only a couple of fast corners. On the plus side I can see how it provided good overtaking in the real F1 races.
I was wondering about the green run-off area at the exit of the final corner - is that classed as part of the track (so we can drive fully onto it) or do we need to keep two wheels on the grey tarmac? I know in Australia the green areas were considered part of the track so I thought i check if it's the same here.
Thanks.

Re: China track layout..
Last year the rule was that you must have 2 wheels on the regular gray asphalt I think.

That runoff is NOT considered part of the track. There are no exceptions to the 2-wheels-on-track rule at Shanghai.
Also, the green around the curbs in Australia was NOT part of the track either. The admins decided to be tolerant because it was the first race of the season and the first reviewed race in a while. There would have been some penalties if not for this...
Those who think the 2-wheels rule is too harsh should have joined NAR at the time when the rule was actually *4*-wheels-on-track at all times...

I definitely read somewhere on here that the green curbs in Australia were considered part of the track, this was before the race took place.Bilbo wrote: Also, the green around the curbs in Australia was NOT part of the track either.

Anyway, thank you for clarifying the China rule.

At majority of tracks, the green part after the curb are not part of track, but curb themselve are part of track. Few exception exist like France, where in front of pit, you can ride on the green tharmac.
